In summary no Game of Thrones, doesn't have the production level or on point casting or as rich a source material however the producers make the best choice in grabbing the series by the horns and galloping along with a largely solid cast with some stand out performances . It was always going to be tough to adapt these novels which predate the Game of thrones in writing and while similar in their vast scope lack the maturity of George RR Martins novels, and well he was already an accomplished screen writer. Like most books unfold as they progress elements are not explained from the onset which may confuse some viewers but some cool moments and a few where the budget sags and one popular character from the books simply wasn't pulled off so great which was a shame, prosthetics haven't come a long way. We are spoiled in the golden age of tv and this is still great fantasy - a teenage version of myself would've been over the moon the see this series of the books being read, so happy it's come along a few decades later.
